Christian *and* Pro-Gay Rights? How Could It Be?

Kristin Chenoweth has made the news for being both Christian *and* loving her LGBTQ neighbors as herself. Really? She agrees with Jesus, a guy who professed compassion for people with less power, but not with other Jesus followers who stomp Teh Gays in the face [or fail to condemn such stompings]? Go figure!

ABC News breathlessly reports on her interview with The Advocate, headlining it “Kristin Chenoweth: Christian and Gay Rights Supporter” and opening with

Kristin Chenoweth is a study in contradictions.

The diminutive songstress who played a high school dropout on “Glee” and originated the role of Glinda in “Wicked” is just as comfortable talking about her Christian faith as she is her support for gay rights.

According to the Bible, there was one special loved one in Jesus’s life and that person was a MAN.

It is difficult to imagine how a homophobic person could claim to be a follower of Jesus, or why they would want to.

To the extent that info is available, it looks like Jesus was probably gay. Get over it people.

Meh, I don’t buy that. In the accounts, the most important person to Jesus was probably Mary M. The theories that he was getting it on with a lady are more compelling.

Many of us Christians support equality. It’s the moral thing to do.

Guys there is also evidence that Jesus was alive around 2000yrs ago so it is a mute point since only his disciples wrote of him. If his journal is found someday professing love to someone then it matters.

Phoenix, there is no evidence that Jesus was alive around 2000 yrs ago. The writings about him are not from contemporaries but were from decades even centuries after he was supposed to have lived. I am fine with Christians like Chenoweth. She’s honest and open, but I have issues when people say there is proof of something when there is none.

Jesus was tempted in ALL manner Hebrews 4:15

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
This is not said to make us feel guilty for our sins but to illustrate that we are able to take any temptations we have to him and he understands since he was tempted by the same thing.

Whether one chooses to believe this or not is up to each person but that is what the scripture teaches. No where does it say that he was ever involved sexually with Mary Magdeline or the disciple that he loved very much. I mean come on people haven’t you ever loved someone very much and it not been sexual?
There is as much evidence that Jesus really lived as there is evidence for anything written of historical recordings from antiquity. Are you saying that if you were asked at say, the age of 80, to write a history of what happened in the 1st grade for you that it is not based on facts?
